I often notice families have birthdays grouped together around the same time of year (like my family from grandma and uncles on my dads side down to my my brother and his kids and grandkids having about 9 birthdays in late September through early November) means I have this probably stupid theory about genes and times of year being fertile, but sharing birthdays is an extreme example
Oh and I do have a feeling, backing up your thing about what was happening 9 months earlier, that September would be the peak baby month most years cos of New Year’s Eve and just generally people having time off over Christmas
I’m not sure if it’s an urban myth but I’ve heard there was a glut of Babies in late April 1967 (9 months after the 66 WC Final) but that feels too neat and tidy to be true so probably a myth
Am I reading this right? That not only is Justin Trudeaus birthday on Christmas Day but his non-twin brother shares a birthday with him?
Two years later (1971 and 1973).
So I did read it right

It always makes me wonder what was happening or in the air or on television nine months beforehand…
